Some of our Services are sold for 12 month period, beginning from the day of purchase and ending the last day of the previous month next year. If the Client has signed up with any of our yearly services, the Client is entitled to a yearly recurring service.

Mainly our Services are recurring subscriptions by their nature. These may include but are not limited to, yearly legal address and contact person service, monthly accounting- and tax service, webpage maintenance, e-marketing, etc. If the Client has purchased any of such services, then it is considered as a purchase of recurring subscriptions and you will be charged on a monthly and/or yearly basis until the month/year the subscription is terminated. The same billing method is used for recurring payments, as you used with your initial purchase unless agreed otherwise in writing.

However, some of our Services are one-time purchases, such as preparing annual accounts, obtaining VAT and EORI numbers, etc.

For some services, simply ending a subscription in self-service is not enough, for example, address and contact person services. They are finally terminated when they are removed or changed in the Estonian Business Register.

Simply stating that the service is no longer needed or ended is not the termination of the agreement, but the start or resumption of it.
